TOUR PLAN

Day 1: Arrival & Unwind by the Sea
Upon your arrival at Moi International Airport in Mombasa, you’ll be greeted by the warm coastal breeze and the promise of relaxation. After a smooth transfer to your beachfront accommodation, check into your hotel or resort, where you’ll be welcomed with refreshing drinks and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Spend the afternoon settling into your surroundings, perhaps taking a leisurely stroll along the soft sands or dipping your toes into the crystal-clear waters. For lunch, enjoy a light meal at the resort’s restaurant, featuring fresh seafood and local flavors. As the day winds down, watch the sun set over the ocean while sipping on a tropical cocktail. Dinner will be served at the resort, offering a mix of international dishes and traditional Swahili delicacies. The evening is yours to relax, listen to the sound of the waves, and prepare for two more days of blissful tranquility.

Start your morning with a hearty breakfast overlooking the ocean. Today is all about embracing the laid-back vibe of Mombasa’s beaches. Spend the late morning lounging by the pool or under a shaded cabana, soaking up the sun and enjoying the gentle sea breeze. If you’re feeling more active, take part in optional water activities such as snorkeling, paddleboarding, or kayaking. Many resorts also offer spa treatments, so consider indulging in a massage or body scrub to enhance your relaxation.

In the afternoon, venture beyond the beach for a cultural excursion. Visit Fort Jesus , a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers a glimpse into Mombasa’s rich history as a trading hub. Explore its ancient walls, museums, and artifacts before heading to the nearby Old Town. Wander through narrow streets lined with colorful buildings, browse local markets, and interact with artisans selling handmade crafts. Return to your resort in time for a sunset dinner, where you can reflect on the day’s experiences while enjoying another delicious meal.

On your final day, take it slow and savor every moment of your beach retreat. Begin with a peaceful breakfast, either at the resort or on the beach if your accommodation offers this option. Spend the late morning doing whatever makes you happiest—whether it’s reading a book under a palm tree, taking one last dip in the ocean, or simply gazing out at the horizon.

Before checking out, enjoy a farewell lunch at the resort, sampling some of the signature dishes you may have missed during your stay. Depending on your departure time, there might still be an opportunity for a quick visit to a nearby attraction like the Mombasa Marine Park or a final walk along the shoreline. When it’s time to leave, transfer back to the airport or begin your journey home, carrying with you unforgettable memories of Mombasa’s charm and serenity.
